Mercury Records released the stirring song "Freedom (Theme from Panther)" in 1995. More than sixty African-American female musicians from pop, R&B, and hip-hop groups and artists make up the chorus. En Vogue, Xscape, Aaliyah, Vanessa L. Williams, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, SWV, TLC, and Monica1 are among the notable contributions. "Freedom" was recorded immediately following the 1995 American Music Awards. In addition to uplifting women today, the song honors historical black resistance figures such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis. It is a version of a song by Joi from her album "The Pendulum Vibe," released in 1994. The song was redone and became the official theme for the critically acclaimed movie "Panther." Angie Stone orchestrated the vocals, while Me'Shell Ndegéocello provided the bass guitar. Antoine Fuqua directed a music video that was produced to promote the song1. Performance of the Charts: In 1995, "Freedom" peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. Pop and R&B vocalists, both established and emerging, were featured on the track. It reached its peak at number 45 on the Pop Chart and number 10 on the R&B Singles Chart of Billboard. The soundtrack CD was successful in the charts as well. A classic hymn with a potent message from an all-star collaboration honors freedom, togetherness, and the empowerment of women.
